Riverside County Sheriff's investigators have made a breakthrough in the 2018 killings of seven Laotian people at a marijuana farm in Aguanga, identifying a dark-colored SUV linked to the crime. The announcement follows years of silence and comes as authorities prepare to discuss the investigation publicly.
Riverside County Sheriff's investigators have identified a mid-size, dark-colored SUV believed to be used during the killings in the remote community of Aguanga . Authorities said they believe the killings were a targeted incident and will discuss the investigation at a news conference Friday. The announcement comes more than four years after the killing of seven victims, all who were Laotian. Six people were found dead on the property, and a woman who was shot there died later at a hospital.
More than 20 people lived on the property, which had makeshift dwellings and a nursery. More than 1,000 marijuana plants and several hundred pounds of processed marijuana were found at the site in January 2018. But the illicit market continued, partly because hefty legal marijuana taxes sent consumers looking for better deals in the illegal economy. Aguanga is a small mountainous community about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of San Diego with horse ranches along dirt roads
